Equipment
Geoff Turner designed Studio A and B at Little Mountain. Studio A was designed to fit a 50 piece orchestra. Studio B would fit a 30 piece orchestra. The large recording rooms would prove a valuable tool in the recording of rock bands. The control rooms had raised floors to facilitate sight lines and cable runs.
Little Mountain would be a studio based on Neve consoles for the first decade. In 1988 Little Mountain would purchase the first Solid State Logic (SSL) console in Western Canada. The 4048 E series console was located in Studio A. In 1992 Studio B was also updated to the latest SSL, a 4056 G series console with LCRS film panning. Upon installation of the SSL consoles the Neve console in Studio B was converted in Preamp/EQ strips. The studio featured Studer A800 24 track tape machines.
Bob Brooks would hire John Vrtacic in the 1980s to maintain the equipment. John would remain the Technical Director of Little Mountain until the facility in Vancouver closed.

Famous quotes containing the word equipment:
“Biological possibility and desire are not the same as biological need. Women have childbearing equipment. For them to choose not to use the equipment is no more blocking what is instinctive than it is for a man who, muscles or no, chooses not to be a weightlifter.”
—Betty Rollin (b. 1936)
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Dr. Scofield’s equipment, which you have just seen, radiated waves direct to Professor Houghland’s laboratory. When these waves came in contact with those the professor’s equipment was radiating, they created the interstellar frequency, which is the death ray.”
—Joseph O’Donnell, and Clifford Sanforth. Arthur Perry (Bela Lugosi)
